Continuous variables with normal distribution are expressed as mean ± SD and with a non-parametric distribution as median (lower-upper quartile), categorical variables as frequency (percent). Independent sample T-test combined to Levene’s test were applied for continuous variables with normal distribution, and Mann–Whitney U test for variables with non-parametric distribution. Chi-square/Fisher’s exact test was used for categorical variables as appropriate. All tests were performed two-tailed. CAD, coronary artery disease; AMI, acute myocardial infarction; LAD, left anterior descending coronary artery; LCX, left circumflex coronary artery; RCA, right coronary artery; PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention; GP, glycoprotein; EF, ejection fraction; EDV, end-diastolic volume; ESV, end-systolic volume; ACE, angiotensin-converting enzyme; AT, angiotensin receptor.
